Retaining & Growing Talent: Internal Workforce Development in Clean Energy

March 5, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EST)

Description

As clean energy companies expand, strengthening internal talent pipelines is more important than ever. This webinar will explore practical strategies for developing, retaining, and upskilling the workforce you already have—drawing on real-world approaches from organizations supporting employer training, advancement pathways, and internal workforce planning.

Hear from Pagan Poggione (IREC) and Alison Moon (Greentech Renewables) as they share models, tools, and lessons learned from working directly with companies to build stronger, more resilient teams. Following brief presentations, CHESSA will lead a moderated discussion on internal workforce challenges and opportunities before opening the floor for audience questions.

Ideal for HR teams, training managers, and clean energy leaders looking to invest in their people and strengthen organizational capacity.
